Skeleton Staffs Man Crowded Hospitals By KAY REX Canadian Press Staff Writer hospitals in @anada have been hit by a short- age of nurses. Many have been forced to close wards, and even en- tire wings. In others, skeleton staffs, working long hours, are en- deavoring to handle the increasing number of patients, At the same time a survey by The Canadian Press shows there are more nurses in Canada than before the war, Hospital officials claim that whereas the ideal ratio is one gra- duate nurse to attend to four pa- , tients, nowadays a hospital consi- , ders itself lucky if it has one to 16 | or 20, ! A new world which sees men and | women: taking advantage of health | insurance schemes, receiving medi | eal attention they otherwise could | not afford, is partly responsible for | the hospital's growth in popularity. In Welland, Ont.,, there are ap- 1 proximately 150 per cent more pa- | tients at the Welland County Gen- ; eral than there were eight years | 880. : she} an His Other Demands A shortage of domestic help and an increased demand for special duty nurses also has increased the burden of hard-pressed hospital staffs, The nursing profession still ate tracts more girls than can be train el in most of the 170 civilian hospi tals operating schools throughout the country, but a large percentage of them upon graduation, turn to industrial nursing where the pay is higher and the hours more regular . than In hospitals, Others find em- " ployment in military hospitals and Department of Veterans Affairs In- stitutions The nursing schools graduate ap- tely 3,500 nurses annually, t they cannot continue preparing faurses in the numbers required for the variety of services in which they now find employment, The result has been an impasse which can only be overcome by re- the entire profession, Plans of the Canadian Nurses Asso- ciation and the Canadian Hospital Council are being made with this end in view, "The assbeiation and the council now are embarking on an exhaus- tive study of the various angles presented by this problem and will work out recommendations for a satisfactory solution," sald Dr. Har- vey Agnew, of Toronto, council se- "A number of other organizations including the federal government are being invited to participate in this study and it may prove neces- sary . ... that a considerable re- vamping of the duties of the nurse in the hospital and of her educa- Ont, has arranged for a vote of taxpayers on a $300,000 grant to- ward the building of a $500,000 ad~ dition to the hospital, to include a new nurses' training school and re- sidence, A total of $100,000 has been obtained already by public subscription, . Applications Numerous Applications from girls anxious to go into nursing generally have been plentiful, although in some cases outlying centres have found them scarce, At Windsor, Ont, Grace Hospital report their fall class has been filled and already half of the applications for the February class have been received. Toronto General Hospital nursing school reports the fall class totals 72, 12 more than last term, and all the school can possibly handle, At the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, applications have had to be turned down this year for the nursing course, The class this term totals 35, double the number in 1043, the first year the course open- Births Increase In Netherlands New York, Oct, 24--(CP)--Birth rates for the Netherlands have been increasing sharply in the last year, the Netherlands Information Bu- reau here reports. The current rate of 35.4 per thousand compares with 20.1 per thousand before the war and reflects a large increase in the number of marriages, The bureau says this birth rate never before was approached in the country, The famine which ravag- ed the country immediately after the war had its effect in a very low birthrate in large cities, which re- ported a rate of 14.8 for January, 1946, but that rate has been climb- ing until the latest report from the large cities shows a rate of 38.1 per thousand. The country also reports a low death rate, although statisticans suggest that many premature deaths among older people during the famine may be partly respons- ible for the better showing now. Nursing Assistants Soon to Graduate - Toronto, Oct, 23-- (CP)--Services of nursing assistants at a smaller fee will soon be available in Ontario for persons who are unable to pay $7 a day for a trained nurse, pro- vincial Health Minister Kelley stat- ed last night in an address before the Ontario Hospital Association convention, He sald 300 girls were being trained for this work and at con- clusion of their training they would be certified as nursing assistants, Establishment of a uniform fee has not been considered as yet, The Health Minister sald he was enthusiastic about proposals for small hospitals to be located in sll towns throughout the prov- nee, Many-Colored Heels For London Belles London, Oct. 24.--(CP)-- BSubur- ban Cinderellas are more likely to leave colored heels behind them at midnight than glass slippers this season, The latest fashion, introduced by a shoestore in the suburb of Burnt Oak, Edgware, is inter-changeable to match each dance frock. Thrifty women, who feel one warm winter coat is worth three pairs of evening shoes, will still be able to get a bit of glamor by ex- perimenting with three-pairs-of- heels-to-one-dance-slipper bargains, and may even try a harlequin ef- fect with one heel red and the oth- er blue, "HARD PARTING Altrincham, Cheshire, Eng.--(CP) --A woman, bound over for stealing a gold ring, had to have the ring sawn off her finger, officials at | The Mixing Bowl nse Hello Homemakers!
